At meeting of the board of education last
night the resignation of Miss Catherine E.
Jones, of No. s Washington school, was
read and laid on the table until the next
meeting according to rule. Miss Jones has
been teacher in the public schools for
about thirty two years. The committee on
schools then recommended the following
promotions in the Washington school: Miss
Julia Nader from No. 2 to No. 8, salary $500:
Miss Mollie Nader from No. z to No Z A,
5000; Miss Della D. Donohue from Ne. 6 A
| to No. z, 5000; Miss Annie Clune from No.
| to No. A, 5000; Miss Charlotte Mccartney
| from No. 8 to No. 6, $500; Miss Amanda H.
| Donovan from No. 8 West school to No.
Washington, $500; Ida B. Hull from No. 4
A Washington to No. West, $500; Miss
Annie L. Stone to be assigned to No. 4
Washington at salary of $500. The COM
mittee recommended the appointment of
Miss Annie E. Snow to No. West. These
recommendations were tabled until the next
meeting.
The committee on schools recommended
that the salary of Mr.. Ricketts,, teacher of the
night school at the High school building, be
So. 90 night after November l. II was carried.
1t Das decided to extend an invitation to the
secretary of the State board of education to
hold an institute here Friday and Satur-
day, December and 10. 1t was voted that
the telephone switch board at the High
school be changed, as it is now in a dilapi-
dated condition.
The committee on schools recommended
that twenty-five copies of the school reports
for the last six years be bound, which recon-
mendation was adopted.
The board concurred with the common
council in granting an abatement of school
taxes to Peter Murphy of Franklin street,
Eliza Perkins of Falworth, Texas, who has
lot on Dixwell avenue, Thomas Fl. Williams
and to Benjamin Noyes on three pieces of
land.
President WEIGH reported that the COM
mittee had decided on a site for the Washing
ton school. The committee had been untir-
ing in their efforts to secure a suitable lot,
and had looked over the grounds theDoughly.
1t was finally thought by the committee that
lot on the corner of Rosette and De Witt
streets was about as available as any. Mr.
Welch said that he had much rather have the
building on Howard avenue. The question
was again brought up as to whether the new
Washington school should have basement
or attic rooms. Various objections were
presented to having basement rooms, the
principal one of which was that the rooms
being SO low would be badly lighted, es-
pecially when other building were erected
around.
On motion it was voted that the new
building should have attic rooms instead of
basement.
The building committee, through Major
Strong, reported that the furnace in the
Webster school was broken down and rec
commended that new one be put in which
| would cost $175. The board voted to give
In 10 -0FTr0
one.
Mr.. Day read the finance report for the
month of October. The pay roll amounted
| TO $25, 059.22.
Superintendent Dutton reported that the
Skinner school was crowded and that about
two hundred and fifty scholars had been
sent to the Hamilton school, which also
| filed to overlooking. The crowded condi-
ton of the schools necessitates in some cases
the attendance of the smaller children half
day in order to give more room. He said
there were about one hundred who did not
| attend school at all in that district, and that
| in fact there were at least four hundred in
| the Skinner school unprovided for.
